Attempt to get up, try to figure out how much damage you've taken in the fight, how much of your power has returned, that sort of thing.
To the other hollow-girls: "Huh. That kinda went better than I thought it would. How long was I out?"

>>26037131
Shut up Gin.

We all know you were faking it.

>>26036993

Get up. Stretch, check on Chizuru.

"Sigh, when she wakes up she is going to give me an earful about this...okay...think"

Game plan, wait for Tier and the Tres to wake up. Thank them for their hospitality and Tier for her friendship...

Tell story of my mother and the Angler Lure Hollow whose name we never learned, tell them you don't think he was lying...you'd been planning to come here for a while now to look, but you need to get Chizuru back to earth and soon, as well as to the others who are waiting for you.

Tell them that when my hollow awakened, that Hollowfication might have caught back up to my mother...and there might be a female hollow of incredible power roaming about somewhere with a mask like mine if she is no longer a plus.

>>26036993
Mumble "Welcome to Sietch Tabr, Usul." to ourself, then check on Chizuru.

In any case; COSGROVE: Was that the "bad interlude" you mentioned on your twitter? Any chance you could pastebin the other one?

>>26037155
Man, it's like that scene is straight out of SuperJail.

Can hollows (Adjutas/Vasto Lordes anyway) go in gigai? Because we could just offer to purchase some for them so they can just hang out in the realm of the living.

>>26037155
I think we might have gotten both of them last night. unless that one with gin wasn't the bad one and now I'm terrified just thinking about it.

>>26036993
Check on Chizuru, stretch, pop our neck and shoulders; make sure everything's back to normal and working while lightly musing how weird that all was.
When we see Chizuru's still under; try and give Hichigo and Old Man a visit to see if they're still ok.

>>26037155
that was NOT the bad one. The bad one was worse. Much worse.

>we're on harribel
Am I the only one turned on right now? By this I mean.

>>26037155
Yeah I mean did we get both at the same time?

Or was that somehow the -good- version?

And if it was bad, how could we have avoided it?

Not take up time fighting Harribel, and then recovering.

>Been unable to participate in ghost mexico due to work

Did we gain any EXP from that fight, Cosgrove?

...Dear fucking god.

>>26037206
Well shit.

>>26037190
I don't think so, although I wouldn't put it past Urahara to SCIENCE! something up.

I doubt we'd be able to convince him its a good idea though.

>>26037190
They probably can't. They hunger for souls you know.

We need to have Chizuru get a hold of her powers, and thus transform them into Arrancar.

By that point in time, they should be strong enough to meet up with Starrk and not die.

>>26037196
Well think about it. Whoever "miss" was seemed to be in bed with Aizen and Gin. She had lost her usefulness thanks to "someone else" that was easier to manipulate.
Who is it? My instinct says Shiro, but I'm not sure. The witch hunt's gunna be interesting and I'm hoping Cosgrove keeps the Interludes coming while throwing us for more loops than a toucan themed box of cereal.

Rukia was going to be used but now Momo is back. They still think Momo will be more easily manipulated.

>>26037331
Considering how different this is from canon, we'll probably kill Aizen before Gin even tries to.

>>26037323
She... probably is, if she gave Hitsugaya a chance.

Poor Hinamori, I don't think she was ready for that fight.

As much as i like Gin, if he did end up killing Momo/Rukia then he better prepare his anus for the apocalypse we're going to unleash on it.

>>26037331
We hire him for a team sniper and buy him a nice optic scope for his sword.

And now there's that feeling of dread again...

>>26037288
He never mentioned if the new mark was male or female, only that they where more useful than whoever "Miss" was.

>>26037374
>He killed the shitlord head of science division.
I want to believe.

>>26037256
Could "Miss" have been Soi-Fon? I know that sounds absurd, but the info we got about our allies said that Urahara was attacked by ninjas (2nd Division). That suggests she might be involved. Her obsession with Yoruichi might be the perfect string for Aizen to pull in order to send her against Urahara.

>>26037311
Wait what?

Are you going alternate timelines on us?

Because we don't want to know THAT badly.

>self assess
>look after chizuru

You close your eyes and flex your left arm, the one that had grown back. it’s a bit sore, but other than that fully functional. The rest of you is sore, but you didn’t really take too much damage, thanks to your hollowified toughness.

But, you slowly sit up, as to not disturb the resting Harribel, and look for Chizuru.

But she’s not where you last left her.

In fact, she isn’t in the cave at all.

>You have the floor

>>26037372
One life to save a thousand is a good trade.

>>26037323
Well if that's true that may or may not be a rude awakening for them.

>>26037131
I'm imagining that interlude taking place in first person of "Miss", she says nothing, but you can hear panting; a slight rinding from the physical exertion and fear.
She turns around and there he is. She panics, reaches for her blade, but it's too late. The .gif plays out and smash cuts to black.

It cuts away before telling what happened to "Miss." Rukia wouldn't be able to dodge or fight Gin effectively, but Soi-Fon could probably Shunpo out of the way in the time it took Gin to speak the command phrase.

You don’t feel her spiritually, but you do feel an odd ‘absence’ outside. You quietly get up and make your way up the stair and outside. You also feel several strong presences nearby, all three reminds you of the Hmmmerhead, but two of them seem familiar. From the south.

You see Chizuru standing there, her yellow eyes glowing in the darkness, as she stares out into the desert wastelands. She’s wearing your kosode like a cloak and you can see from the occasional wind that her arms are wrapped around her torso.

She doesn’t seem to notice you.

Starrk, Lillynette, and unknown.

And we can't leave our new pack unprotected.

>>26037715
Orihime should be able to fix Nel. After all if she could fix the Captain Comander's arm...

>>26037715
i suppose if we wanted to, although that would require us to know she was broken.

Or if it responds to Chizuru's desire for an endless Hollow Harem

>>26037715
Only in the sense that 'who the fuck knows what the Hougyoku can and can't do'.

>>26037715
>>26037734
What if instead we just skip Nel because she's a terrible character that not even Cosgrove could save.

>>26037732
Actually I would assume it's Nel and co. Cos didn't say they were exceptionally strong, just Arrancars.

>>26037732
>And we can't leave our new pack unimpregnated

FTFY

>>26037563
Nope. "Miss" reached for her sword to activate Shikai, and then Gin spoke Shinso's activation phrase. After that, it went cut off.

The use of Shikai suggests a Vice Captain or Seated Officer, but Soi-Fon's Bankai is useless in normal combat. It could easily been a purposeful attempt to mislead us into ignoring the Captains as possibilities.

Also, neither Rukia nor Momo are viable to manipulate anymore. "Miss" apparently was until just recently, although she now thinks of Gin as "Aizen's accomplice." The word "accomplice" hear is also not how Momo would think, nor can I see her thinking of Aizen so casually.

It could be Rukia, but Aizen's never shown interest in using her as a piece for his plans.

Switching from the militaristic and loyal Soi Fon to the unstable and rebellious Toshiro would definitely be a step up from Aizen's perspective, as well.

>>26037758
>Not letting us get a shoulder loli
Also that Ready to serve backstory with her and Haribel was actually rather decent.

>>26037544
And if it is Soi-Fon, Gin is probably dead now.

>>26037750

No...I think Chizuru is coping with a sudden lost humanity...the plot rock done changed her so hard she probably has a line waiting for us about how she does not belong on earth.

If that is the case, we open a garganta to the outside of the shoten and throw a rock at the door to get Kisuke's attention.

>>26037761
...True, but I'm pretty sure even as a little girl, Nell is still stronger than Pesche and Dodonchakka?

>>26037758
I actually kind of like her. She would have been better if her character development wasn't instantly reversed mind you.

>>26037794
You're joking right? Gin would destroy her. She's Yoroichi's bitch.

>>26037734
Nel would have been tolerable without the child persona. Her true form, especially prior to Nnoitra's attack, would be alright to have around.

Cosgrove will likely make her amazing.

>>26037758
Fuck You Great Desert Bros makes me laugh every time.
Nel is awesome.

>>26037802
In which case do we put on our mask, cut off our arm, and then give her a 'what now' gesture?

>>26037837

What if she and still arrancar Donde and Pesche are the ones coming to us now?

>>26037785
Keep in mind that Gin tends to be sarcastically formal, referring to captains as simply "Captain". Miss implies someone of little authority who he is probably unfamiliar with, which leads us back to Rukia.
Soi-Fon is most likely their new ally however.

>>26037849
They never stopped being Arrancar, even when they pretended to be hollows.

Like Pesche still had his sword right?

>>26037879

>>26037828
She's also extremely angry and bitter at the fact that she left her all alone.
And if faced with a life or death situation like that, she WILL kill without hesitation. She's a shitload quicker than Gin and his non-bankai release as well. If it was her he was attacking, ya he's dead.
That said, it was almost assuredly NOT her.

>>26037851
Good point, although it could also have been purposeful derision. Soi-Fon is very insecure about herself because she feels inferior to her predecessor. Calling her "miss" and treating her like a low-ranked scrub would be top grade trolling.

>>26037879
I never saw proof that Donde was ever an arrancar, but Pesche was definitely an arrancar. He clearly had a hole in his mask.

>>26037900
>she will kill without hesitation
So will Gin
>She's a shitload quicker than Gin
Not necessarily. And considering it's Gin I doubt he'd come unprepared for that, he's more devious than Aizen pretends to be.

>>26037924
Look we'll find out soon enough.

Especially since no one important dies in Bleach without at least one monologue.

>>26037903

Nel's backstory is explicit, Nnoitora removed the remains of both of their hollow masks, robbing them of most of their arrancar powers and crippling them spiritually.

Que to hodan indeed.

>>26037963
Because Kubo. That's why. That's always the answer when something stupid happens in bleach. KUBO!

>>26037963
Probably because Kubo didn't spend time tying up loose ends, instead choosing to jump straight to the next arc.

Not that I blame him. Manga isn't the best format for that kind of thing, not to mention the bloody editors.

>>26037963
because Canon Orihime wasn't the brightest bulb in the closet.

But Cosgrove's Orihime is leagues better, and might actually be able to permanently fix Nel and co., at which point we have new allies.
New Arrancar Allies.

Note that they were dedicated to playing with Nel for eternity and avoiding combat.

>>26037994
You're all assuming that Aizen's been rolling around in Ghost Mexico and this far it seems relatively unlikely. The only evidence we have is BrokenMaskHammerHead who he admitted to having created in the show.
BUT He doesn't have the power or capacity to be able to make the trip to Mexico right now I don't think.

>approach her

You walk up to her. "Hey. Chizuru. Are you sure you should be up now? How are you feeling?"

Her eyes turn towards you before facing forward again, looking at the endless wastelands.

“Might as well. Better.”

Chizuru’s voice comes off cold and indifferent as her eyes dart in two different directions. Your sixth sense notes she’s looking to the south west, where the two from the south seem to be, contently keeping their distance. Towards the northwest, there’s a singular figure. Both are more hollow, but they also remind you of shinigami, too.

You can make out Chizuru’s finger rhythmically tapping her arm, but she’s not saying anything or looking in your direction.

He does.

When he beat Barragan and took control of his operation, he was still wearing his glasses.

If the anime filler is any indication, he recruited Harribel shortly after he defected, what with the slicked back hair. Why Hammerhead was able to find Harribel so much earlier is unknown.

Also, he didn't recruit Starrk until he got his new clothes.

>>26038038

That's so freaking sweet and sad....

>>26038050
Lightly punch her on the cheek, like just for show.

Then say. "Thats what your supposed to do when a friend is clamming up for no reason right? Knock the sense into them?"

>>26038026
That'd be interesting as well.

>>26038014
That too.
Sorry, guys, but Honsho's harem will have to consist of other Arrancar women-
Like Cirucci. And that bunny girl she molested in canon.
I'm pretty sure Harribel wouldn't be cool with us foisting her and her group off onto someone she doesn't know just because we want to satisfy Chizuru's massive libido.
I said it before: Chizuru picks a woman, and then we wingman.
No playing matchmaker until then.

>>26038071
I think they thought it was better for Nel to be a child than for her to be a full fledged Arrancar again. I mean they didn't want her changing back to begin with.

I can't see a way that Ichigo can effectively deal with Barragan outside of using PURE OPPRESSIVE REIATSU to negate whatever effects he can put out.

I agree with enough hugs anon. I get the distinct impression that she isn't really comfortable with physical contact at the moment (subconscious worry it might set that black stone thingy off and then explosions? Is extremely pissed that we got her into this mess? Other?). Could be wrong, but I think giving her a little space to center herself again without pushing is the path of a good friend right now. Be there for her with out being in her face, that kind of thing.

>>26038465
>even better than
Fixed that for you. We've already experimented with Hollow Bait and taking hits off the Hoguyoku, it's time to step it up.

Even on FULLKUBO! mode, we can OD on stuff. This would be one of those things.

>entropy
You really want to take that DEAL, don't you?

>>26038465
Pure entropy? How does that work? I mean, entropy is the disorganization of the molecules, to oversimplify things. It's like saying "absorbing pure slowness". It's a propriety of matter, not something on its own.

*watches a bunch of cat-girls dying*

>You okay?
>what happened?

“Are you okay?”

Chizuru’s fingers pause, clenching into claws that dig into her arm. “Yeah. I’m. Just. Fine.”

Her tone is terse but less detached, you decide to continue. “So what happened? How did you show up. How did… this happen?”

“Felt you guys fighting, ran there. Used cloth, reinforced it with spiritual energy. Saved you all.”

She takes a deep breath. “It wants to grant wishes. There was one by several. ‘I don’t want her to die.’”

Her eyes turn towards you. “And rage. Intent to hurt. It fed on them.”

She lifts her hands, looking at them. The back of her hands have black lines running up to her fingers. “Once it had a host… it responded to all threats.”

She stares down at her hands, silent.

"So how'd you know that those four powerful hollows back in the cave weren't our enemies?"

“Desire. I can sense them, slightly.”

Her eyes flicker towards the southwest. “The stronger, the easier it is.”

She draws quiet again and you’re unnerved by this Chizuru. You try yo amkee more small talk, to draw her out.

"What kind of reading are you getting from those guys in the distance"

She gestures with each hand. The one pointing towards the south. “Loneliness.”

The one towards the north. “Duty.”

You try to think of something, anything.

"So...I found Hollows who aren't jerks and after fighting a common enemy and then having a friendship fight...I think I just became the alpha male of a pack...we should try to get back to earth and start sorting things out at Uraharas."

Her eyes, finally, look at you. Fear. worry, anger and desperation are evident in her luminescent yellow eyes.

“I’m not going back.”

>you have control

Rolled 2

>>26038587
"Que?"

Because we are in mexico

>>26038587
I think that the only answer we can give that would be realistic is
WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN!?

>>26038587
You said you didn't want me to hurt Orihime didn't you? Well what you're saying definitely will.

That general sentiment but worded better.

"I guess it's about sensing desire and being overloaded in the mortal world? We should at least get clogs-and-hat to check up on you. If you definitively don't want to come to the living world, would you be ok with us bringing him here for an examination?"

>>26038587
"Fuck that. You are not pulling that 'I don't belong among normal people' bullshit. It's just a fancy way of saying 'I'm too afraid to deal with my shit, so I'll run away instead.' And we both know that to run away is no good."

>>26038587
Nod- we expected this.
"Even so, he needs to know. IF there's anyone who might be able to make it easier for you, it's him.
And I know this isn't what you want.
This isn't what any of us wanted- but I'm not giving up on you just yet. I didn't before, and I won't now."

>>26038587

We aren't leaving anyone here now. We need to regroup and the come back stronger.

>>26038587
"So you don't think you can safely be around normal people?

It better not be something ridiculous like thinking any of our friends would reject you."

>>26038636
I will second this.

Or any form of Flat Wutting.

>>26038587
"Why would you even say that? Everyone is waiting for us back home. Even if that black orb thingy has changed you, I'm sure Urahara can fix it. You're human, you belong back in the human world with your friends."

>>26038587
"Urahara and Yoruichi are the best specialists to try to figure this thing out. You need to be seen by them, Chizuru. Look, everyone's probably worried about us, so you've got to at least pop back there to let them know you're alive."

>>26038667
This. Probably followed by >>26038655...

>>26038634

>>26038587

>>26038587
>Take a moment
>"Look I know you went through a lot and I never got to say sorry or to thank you for saving my life; but I can't just leave you here and run away like that. If you're serious at least think about it a little more. Neither of us know what the hell's going on right now or if we even CAN get hom; so lets not make any snap judgements just yet ok?"

But who's to the north.
We better not have to chose between Rambo and stark.
Also I have a speech I am drafting but I am saving it for a good time so I'm waiting and seeing.

>>26038587
"If you really feel like that's best, then fine.

That just means I'll have to bring people to you."

>>26038587
>.

Look down "Harribel said something about you feeling beyond a hollow...she said she herself was too strong to follow us to earth when we were under attack...normal people would die being around her...that's what would happen with you now...isn't it?"

"I'm not giving up on you...I know what it's like to feel like you've lost your humanity..."

"I will find a way to get you home...until then there are people here you can trust..."

"I was waiting for you to wake up before I brought us home...we've been here a few days. If you aren't coming...I'll talk to Urahara...we'll figure out something"

>>26038783
North is Arrancar, not Shinigami.

WHat?

Also as much as you diplomancers want to invite those voyers out there to a tea party, lets not ok?

>>26038783
Honestly I'd rather not get Starrk. Getting the most powerful hollow outside Ulquiorra's bullshit on our side is just too much for me.

>>26038815
I definitely agree with the first part of this, since we can connect the dots.

>>26038846
Agreed.

Also, do we want to ask what their wish even IS?
Because I have a mixed good/bad feeling about that.

>>26038849
He's also really REALLY lazy.

Given that we wouldn't really tell him to do things, it should be fine.

No reason to kill someone for the sake of killing them though. I'd just rather not see the tragedy happen. I'd be fine with Neutral Party bro.
Or finding a way to get Rambo and Stark to go innawoods together.

>>26038587
Well, since she can sense desire, make sure our primary on regarding her is for Chizuru to be ok and to snap out of this spiral of gloominess and fear. Do not try to manipulate her by wishing that she came home with us, that will fucking backfire.

>>26038888
We're not, Chizuru probably is.

>>26038899
Well lets just get Rambo first then.

They can be clinically depressed together.

Also we totally need to wave at the figures in the distance. Let them know we see them and attempt to gauge their hostility.

Someone is getting a hug tonight.
The goddamn instant she tries to pull an us and self sacrifice.
Full Contact Hugging.
Poor girl.

>>26038888

We should be powerful enough to stand in his presence with Blut Vene on.

We just whipped Halliberry. She can be in his presence..

This.

We're going to be looking around Hueco Mundo later, and she might be able to be in the Soul Society just fine.

>>26039106
Worst part is I wasn't here for that option...
I wanted more support.
I still want to have us slap urahara's shit for this.

>>26039186
That is, if Urahara did it on purpose.

>>26037206
The bad end would've been executing Momo

Orihime was sad from lsoing the two most important people in her life. One of those is Ichigo. As for the other: either this means she was much closer with Chizuru than we anticipated, or Momo is absentee, too.

She's already likely been kidnapped by Ice Doucehbag Von Emo Pants. Fucker is a Lawful neutral asshat.

Oh, well. Time for rescuing arc!

>>26039106
Goddamn it, you are right.
I wasn't there for choosing the mystery box and I still feel shitty for having wanted it.

We've gone full blown Friend Computer up in this joint.

The last update we got on the party though indicates that Momo's still around, but the longer we wait the more likely it is she'll be abducted, then it's Rukia Rescue retraced.

>>26039225
If it wasn't, we kick his ass for having shit security.

LOLKUBO. Cizuru's actual ability is to attract objects with spiritual strength.

Also Hogyoku wants to grant wishes, and would seek the person with greatest desire.

B-but mah favorite store!

>>26039186
I don't think it went to her intentionally...though now I want to know what the deal was with her Fullbring powers, magic cloth? Okay, cool

>>26038913

This will end with Chizuru replacing the Soul King. Calling it now...or we get here seated on the throne of Las Noches once Aizen is beaten.

>>26039246
I think it might have been a panic button, launch into space...but something happened and it veered off course to us, and Chizuru.

>>26039129
Yeah, Ichigo is starting to develop a minor Kenpachi complex...what I mentioned earlier is coming to pass...the boy does thrive on conflict.

>>26039268
Hollow Armor does not a best pillow make...but it is Daaaaaaaaaaaw worthy. We have comrade sharktits to watch out for Chizuru.

>>26039298
You and me both man, you and me both.

>>26039310
It sought our collective desire for Chizuru not to die, our being Momo, Orihime, and Ichigo...and it felt Ichigo's rage.

>>26039305
...Friend Computer is a reference to the game Paranoia.

And why wouldn't we want to make friends instead of enemies?

I mean Starrk and Lillynette are literally right over there, and all they want us people who won't die from being around them.

>>26039305
What's wrong with being friendly? The main reason Ichigo wasn't to these people is
A) he never had any extended contact with them and
B) they were already espada when they met

>>26039310

Nope. It's actually The Harem Must Grow

It could have been a choice of words on Cosgrove's part. Or maybe he was intentionally fucking with us with those choice of words. We really have no reason to believe a certain gal would betray the best candy store owner in the world.

No man, I prefer more airtime to our supporting cast than watching ichigo angst for an entire arc then just make do.

She's the perfect mole though...
Everyone is suspect OOC.
The "new more easily manipulated ally" bit of Gin's exposition last night has me curious to see who it is. Although she could have been in bed with Urahara from the beginning under Aizens directions to locate the plot gem and monitor him.

yfw cosgrove never gave us that vizard or soul society interlude he promised and now it doesn't even matter

>>26039487
That sounds sadly plausible.

>>26039445
You know who's easy to manipulate? Momo. Just threaten her lovers and, thanks to Cosgroves' maybe joke roll post, potentially her unborn child and add a little hypnosis so she doesn't know who she's attacking and boom, attack dog that Ichigo would fight with all his strength.

>>26039515
the fapfic obviously

Why in the fuck haven't -we- learned this yet?

Who's up for moving the warehouse to Mexico, then striking the earth. X-orcist Fortress is a go.

Do go on, I've never understood the limits on Aizen's power beyond the initial prerequisite of seeing him release his zanpakuto.

>>26039576
Well technically we did penetrate Momo with our mind. Does Jinzen count?

>>26039578
Too distant. While some base on Hueco Mundo would be ideal, nothing really happens there most of the time.

>say what?

You look at her. “What.”

You reach up to your ear and make the motion of cleaning it out. “Could you repeat that? My ears were temporarily deafened by all the bullshit that just flew by them.”

She looks away, crossing her arms. “You heard what I said.”

"Why would you even say that? Everyone is waiting for us back home. Even if that black orb thingy has changed you, I'm sure Urahara can fix it. You're human, you belong back in the human world with your friends."

Her head snaps towards you, a sardonic sneer across her face. “Am I? I can’t control it. What if it activates. What if Urahara tries to help and it goes rampant again?”

Chizuru turns away from you, hunching over. “…you should have let me die. Something like this should be removed from the world.”

“Look, I know you went through a lot and I never got to say sorry or to thank you for saving my life… but I’m not going to just let you run away from this.”

He can control the imput of the 5 senses of those under it's influence. He makes you see illusions so you stab the wrong guy, so you aren't stabbing him, that you don't realize you are in pain, that you are in pain. Sight sound touch taste smell are his bitch...and he doesn't even use it to it's full effect.

>>26039604
He can manipulate the five senses, resulting in very powerful illusions that he can activate pretty much whenever he wants.

He can't actually hypnotize people though. Like no mind control, or setting conditions etc.

>>26039566
Still working on them. God willing at least one will be done this week. My schedule blew right the fuck up today at work and I had to crash when I got home. Just woke up about an hour ago.

>>26039627
You wrap your arms around her and she stiffens in surprise. She tries to knock your arms off, but as she struggles, you take the opportunity to turn her around and wrap her in a tighter hug, her face in the crook of your shoulder.

“Let me go, Ichigo! I don’t want to hurt you!”

You shake your head. “I’m not telling you what to do. I owe you that much. But, for as much as you keep saying ‘you don’t want people to get hurt’ you’re talking bullshit, Honsho.”

She stiffens. “You’re afraid, now that you’re different. Of people getting close to you, rejecting you. So you’ll push them away. But I’m one of those people that’s not going to give up on you, no matter what.”

She’s shaking in your arms as you try to recall what you were told.

“Chizuru, a girl once told me ‘Kurosaki… Life hurts. It wears away at people and we’re not able to fix the problems inside our hearts ourselves. So we depend on other people to do it for us, and they depend on us to do it for them. That protecting others can only take you so far. What do you want to do with your life?!”

Chizuru’s hands are painfully clutching yours. Her immense strength is actually causing you a lot of pain, but you endure it.

“I told her that I’ll try. That I don't know what I want, other than to keep doing what I'm doing. That I want to help the people I care about, and I want to stop being a burden and dragging them down by not getting over myself.

“So, what’s why I’m not going to let you stay here. What future do you see in this desolate wasteland?”

Chizuru is clutching at you. “But I have yellow eyes and markings all over me! How am I suppsoed to live with those?!”

>You seem to be winning her over, but she still doesn’t seem certain.
>you have control

>>26039611
We also penetrated her with our dick. And Orihime takes off her clothes if we ask.

So obviously we just lack the proper incentive.

>>26039578
I'd be up for this. Actually, it could prove advantageous. Consider the following:
>Quincy are more powerful in reishi-dense atmosphers like SS and Mexico
>Quincy weapons are more powerful because there's more ambient energy to collect and weaponize
>open up a Garganta between Mexico and battle site
>have Uryu snipe enemies from Mexico with super-enhanced arrows
And apparently, highly-trained Quincies can form any projectile weapon to fight: bows, handbows, crossbows, even a handgun at one point. Quincy sniper rifle when?

>>26039649
>Smile
>"Chicks dig tattoos right?"

>>26039614
Which means it's the safest place to build a base.

>>26039649
"For all we know, those aren't even visible to people who are spiritually sensitive. And if the shinigami have a device that can alter memories, I'd think they can handle cosmetic changes like that."

>>26039649
Contacts and makeup?

>>26039649
If your that sensitive about it we could always get some contacts and makeup, but I kinda like the new look.

>>26039649
"Chizuru. Those are quite possibly THE STUPIDEST reasons to stay away. Have you forgotten the weird bullshit things that Urahara builds, or the fact that we have Momo with us? The girl with spells that can even make an entire warehouse invisible? We'll find a way around it, but first you have to let us try, alright?"

>>26039698
>Quincy sniper rifle when?
When we sufficiently powerlevel Uryuu.

>>26039649
> “But I have yellow eyes and markings all over me! How am I suppsoed to live with those?!”

"Um, hello, MAGIC? Some funky colored eyes and weird tattoos are nothing. One of the perks of being friends with wizards."

"And none of our friends are going to judge you for looking different. Hell, I've got a soul-devouring monster just sort of chilling out inside my soul and nobody thinks any less of me, I'm sure they'll get over the funky yellow eyes quickly enough."

>>26039649

"So? My dad is a shigami, he doesn't have an actual physical body, and he's still managed to have a productive and normal life thanks to Urahara. Also apparently have human kids, Though I'm not sure how that works really. I'm pretty sure Urahara can get you some make up if he really has to."

>>26039649
"Contact lenses and kickass tats. Come on, you're not even trying with that."

>>26039649
Point to your hair.
"Learn Karate"

>>26039717
This, then
>>26039723

>>26039649
You may not have noticed but we have access to a little thing called MAGIC. Seriously, we just need to talk to Momo and she'll whip something up in a minute. Failing that I'm sure Urahara has something.

Not sure about the tattoos but I like the eyes, makes your gaze even more striking. Now on to more important matters, have you see the rack on Harribel?

>>26039775
Okay that got a laugh out of me.

>>26039775
...Yes.

>>26039649
"Ganguro's pretty in now, isn't it?"

>>26039649
"I can cut my own arm off and regrow it a minute later. I'm not normal either- not anymore.

we'll talk to Urahara. He'll figure something out- I know he will. He can bind a soul to a fake body and keep people from dying for years on end. If anyone can fix those, at the very least, he should be able to."

>>26039649
My speech might not be needed after all...

"And I turn into a hollow masked limb regrowing monstrosity that punched a shark in the snout to prove superiority just a bit ago. Besides, look at my damn hair, just disregard what they may say. On top of that, folks dig the exotic..."

This is friendly flirting to get her a bit at ease, I do not want to add her to the girlpile

>>26039698
My speech will make a point for that actually. Its a horrible mashup of blind optimism, cheerfulness, and plotting that with reference everything from mother base to a song of ice and fire.

>>26039717
This, followed by telling her that cosmetic stuff shouldn't be that hard to take care of. Worst case scenario, she gets magic contact lenses.

>>26039649
>“But I have yellow eyes and markings all over me! How am I suppsoed to live with those?!”

Temporary Mask on.
"Really? That's what you're gonna be worried about? I showed this same thing to Orihime. When you come back, I don't think that would be the first thing she'd notice. First thing she'll do when she sees you is give you a hug and cry from being worried sick about you."
